This is a limited and part time opportunity representing us at our small and quaint on-premise winery. Housing available, see below.
Who we are:
Biodynamic, organic and dry farmed vineyard and farm on the Central Coast of California just outside of Templeton and Paso Robles. We specialize in making natural wine with no added sulfites, olive oil, and hard apple ciders. We farm with holistic and homeopathic theories rather than conventional and synthetic practices. We are a true family owned and run small business with the desire to be as sustainable as possible to ourselves and the ecology system that surrounds us. Live with nature, not against it. On our 42 acres we have 2 oak forests, grow 11 grape varieties, interplanted fruit, nut and olive trees, moveable chicken coop, herd of sheep, 1 llama and seasonal cattle. We want to foster a community feeling up on the hill and at the tasting room where everyone is a symbiotic part to the farm and operation.
